Card Requests

. Ad Nauseam

Mostly because the deck involved around this and storm tendrils is quite expensive. The card woul be relatively simple to implement.

While true reveal top card
player life total minus converted mana cost
add card to hand

These would be nice:
Stormtide Leviathan
Quest for Ula's Temple
Redirect

Thanks

I would like to see these standard cards:
Mystifying Maze and Molten-Tail Masticore

Hey Corwin, I have a functional solution for Mystifying Maze:

Code: Select all

Name:Mystifying Maze
ManaCost:no cost
Types:Land
Text:no text
A:AB$ Mana | Cost$ T | Produced$ 1 | SpellDescription$ Add 1 to your mana pool.
A:AB$ChangeZone | Cost$ 4 T | Origin$ Battlefield | Destination$ Exile | ValidTgts$ Creature.attacking | RememberTargets$ True | ForgetOtherTargets$ True | SpellDescription$ Exile target attacking creature an opponent controls.
T:Mode$ Phase | Phase$ End of Turn | TriggerZones$ Battlefield | IsPresent$ Creature | PresentZone$ Exile | PresentPlayer$ Opponent | Execute$ TrigReturn | TriggerDescription$ At the beginning of the next end step, return it to the battlefield tapped under its owner's control.
SVar:TrigReturn:AB$ChangeZone | Cost$ 0 | Defined$ Remembered | Origin$ Exile | Destination$ Battlefield | Tapped$ True
SVar:RemAIDeck:True
SVar:Picture:http://www.wizards.com/global/images/magic/general/mystifying_maze.jpg
SVar:Rarity:Rare
SetInfo:M11|Rare|http://magiccards.info/scans/en/m11/226.jpg
End


paste this code into a file named mystifying_maze.txt and put that file into your res/cardsfolder

the only annoyance is that it keeps triggering at EOT when there's any creature on opp's exile (due to a Path to Exile for example). Other than that it's pretty fine.

Hi everybody, first post here, I hope this is in the right place.

I've been trying to put together a few cards not present in the current set and I've found that triggers based on upkeep phases (and maybe all triggers) are causing an exception for me whatever I do. I've tried some of the cards posted in the card contributions thread in the developer corner and they cause exceptions too. I searched the cards that come with forge and none of them were using this method, instead they all have something called the wheneverkeyword.

I'm using forge 1.14, which is the latest version I think. Is it possible to use triggers in this version? Is the SVN version of forge significantly different in this regard? Which method should I be using?

[friarsol]

Hey Masher,

Your answer is pretty simple: the latest beta release is 1.28 (you can always find the latest version here on the forums) in the 1.14 version Triggers weren't quite complete yet, and the SVN does have significantly different code than even the previous beta release.

If you'd like to help with adding in cards hanging out in Card Development Questions (viewtopic.php?f=52&t=3760&start=240) should help. Also having an up-to-date SVN is extremely useful for not repeating cards, or being able to utilize the latest and greatest tricks.

If you are using Windows as an OS then you can try out Snacko's scripts to download from the SVN and build a working copy of Forge using all of the recent additions on your computer.

Having access to the recent code makes it a lot easier to test your attempts at creating new cards.

[Masher8]

Thanks for the replies, I've got the latet beta now, and it appears the venerable Erhnam Djinn is still yet to be implemented.

Although I'm a programmer (dotnet languages generally speaking) I've had a nightmare trying to build the forge code in the past, I just don't have the java expertise to figure it out when it all goes wrong.

I'll give snacko's scripts a try and hopefully I'll have more success.

Edit: Snacko's scripts

[friarsol]

Hey Masher,
I come from a C++ background and it wasn't too tough to figure out with a bit of poking around in Eclipse. It's definitely similar to C# in a lot of ways, and dissimilar enough to complain about. Right now I don't think you'll be able to do Erhnam Djinn because we don't have a Duration that lasts "Until your next upkeep". Anyway, please ask any more questions in the Card Development Questions thread so we don't spam out this thread. Thanks.

Anyone thought about Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas?

I was thinking about making a semi-functional one for myself, though it's just too clunky:

+1: Scry 5, draw a card.
-1: there's no "becomes" keyword, so the only option would be creating a 5/5 token, though it loses a lot of tricky stuff, like Darksteels, abilities (such as flying etc)
-4: This one is only one that is codeable via AFs.

Thanks!

The first two abilities are on the list of new AFs to be made (Look/Reveal + Do Stuff, Gain Type). That probably won't happen until all of the current AFs are up to speed with everything they should be doing with the new Triggers and Improved AI. They will be viable, but it's better for these things to not be rushed so it doesn't come out sloppy and barely functional.

Thanks for response sol. I'll wait for those AFs, since the solution will be much more elegant and there'll be no need to code it twice

I've started this. I've got it coded in my local code, but haven't tested at all.

I got sidetracked for the last week and a half or so.
